Only 40 trillion dollars?
That sounds like a bargain.

Well, I wasn't going to say anything, but since it's being repeated, it would actually be 40 million, not trillion.

40 million people x $1 million/people = $40 million

That's chump change in bail-out terms.
Heck, give every American (what, 270 million now?) a million dollars. That's still only $270 million. Again, this is chump change, but talk about a stimulus! (and a ridiculous unemployment rate )

It's an interesting idea, but try getting workaholics over 50 to retire with only a million dollars, let alone making it compulsory to buy an American car and a house. I don't think Trump would go along with it. You're fired.

We now return to the regular broadcast of Quality Humor...

40 million people x $1 million/people = $40 million

40 million people x $1 million/people = $40 trillion

Huh?

40,000,000 x 1 = 40,000,000

40,000,000 x 1,000,000 = 40,000,000,000,000

(I think this is what T-bird is trying to say)

If you were to give 1 million dollars to 40 million people it will cost you 40 trillion dollars.

a lesson in taxes
------------------------------------

ten men drink together. the normal bill is 100 dollars for drinking. but they spilt the bill in the following way. the first 4 guys (the poorest) pay nothing. they drink for free. the fifth guy pays 1 dollar, the 6th guy pays 3 dollars, 7th guy pays 6 dollars, 8th guy pays 15 dollars, the 9th guy pays 25 dollars, and the 10th guy (the richest) pays 50 dollars. all are happy with the arrangement. then the barkeep says, "all right guys, you have been drinking here a while now, so from now on i'll give you a discount and the bill will be 80 dollars." but now they had a dilemma, how to divide up the new bill? the richest suggested the following, now the first 5 guys would drink for free, the 6th guy would drink for 2 dollars, the 7th guy would drink for 5 dollars, the 8th guy would drink for 13 dollars, the 9th guy would drink 20 dollars, and the he would pick up the remaining 40 dollars. "Wait a minute!" said the other guys, "that's not fair, we got very little of the 20 dollar discount, you pay 10 dollars less while the rest of us only pay a dollar or two less!" so they beat up the richest guy, and decided to drink without him, but when the bill came due they realized they didn't have enough money between them to pay the bill! and this may friends is how the tax system works, when taxes are lessened the richest benefit the most as they pay the most in taxes, while the poor get very little in tax relief. and if you tax the rich too much they may just decide to leave everyone else with the bill.

Wow, talk about a brain fart...
I can't believe I did that.

E-merl.com - New Experiments In Fiction

[paigetheoracle]

It was exam time and Richard, the freckle faced fifties throw back, was up against his fellow geeks, whose parents were equally as old fashioned as he was and who lived on either side of his house - Matthews and Harris.

After the results came through, it was discovered that he'd done extremely well but the other two had only done half as well as expected: In fact you could say that the square with the spotty nose, was equal to the sons of the squares on the other two sides.

paige,
I want you to know that I hold you in high regard, but...
after reading your jokes for the last few monthes...
well, it might be a good idea for you to seek out professional help.
I suggest at least three psychiatrists, a dozen psychologists,
and at least one witch doctor with a degree in training horses.
I wish you the best.

I didn't know you held me in high regard but think my jokes stink to high heaven?* That's the trouble with genius, it's like a duck's breast - it has its down side. I went to a famous psychoanalyst
'S. Freud?' I asked
'No, just a little bit timid but you can't afford to be scared in zis game!'
Which Doctor did you want me to see? Oh yes, I know the kind - they shout at horses don't they?).

It's the English sense of humour - there isn't any! Clever plays on words that my old friends used to groan at but being such a geek, it was that or nothing (I was a quiet child and should have shut up the rest of my life but didn't when the Bugs Bunny gene kicked in - now I'm wold famous (That's not a spelling mistake - wold is a small piece of land with nothing in it (bit like my head really, sigh...))).

I plead guilty your honour and ask for several other misdemeanours to be taken into consideration. That's all folks!

* I have gotten into serious trouble at work over my sense of humour, getting suspended but who can blame the teachers? I'm supposed to be better than the kids but my jokes aren't (Read Viz Comics if you want to know how bad/ sad my sense of humour is/ has deteriorated to)
